How do telophase I and telophase II differ during meiosis in animal cells?
a. Cells remain diploid at the end of telophase I, but are haploid at the end of telophase II.
b. Daughter cells form a cell plate to divide during telophase I, but divide by cytokinesis during telophase II.
c. Cells enter interphase after telophase I, but not after telophase II.
d. Chromosomes can remain condensed at the end of telophase I, but decondense after telophase II.
